GAINESVILLE FLA, March 10, 1887
This was the article In the Timer Union init
mating that Governor Perry was "selling the
Judgships for the purpose of advancing his own
chances for the Senatorship." The prompt de-
NAL of the Gainesville attorneys would seem TO
indicate that this communication was written
in the r. U's Office. " Be sure your sin will find
you oui"-Ed Jacksonville HeraM.]
And the Times Unions publication
was in the crafty manner characteristic
of that journal when it perpetrates q
dangerous SANDER and would shun the
oonsequences-prints it, protests it does
not believe it, but conveys the intima-
ton that it may be true and when 1t 10
proved to be untrue has not the fairness
70 correct editorially what it editorially

Dersniak Spring..


Among the phenomenal things a Flor
ida-nataral or the work Of man-De-
Fauisk Springs, O. oombinasion Of both,
takes high rank. Its Chantaaqua Assem-
bly, is as remarkable as it is surprising
an Institution that sprung up where four
years ago was virgin wilderness, and is
now centre to which annually are at
tracted multitudes to enjoy entertainment
or instruction from some Of the most no
ted men in the eoussry, distinguished for
eloquence, literary and scientific attain
ments. The managers of the Chautauqus
have from the initiation Of their enterprise
exercised an enlightened liberality which
has commanded success. They deter
mined that expense should not stand in
the way of their purpose in establishing
the Florida Chautauqua, and they accord
ingly engage the best "platform talent"
in the United States, lat cost this year
of many thousand dollars) and the result
is that the Assembly is now a principal
annual event Of the States chronicles.
The other expenses are also large figure
making heavy total in excess of receipts.
Of course the expenditure is not to be
weighed against the benefits but it is to
be mentioned because it is borne by
te,o public spirited men, while the bene-
fits are shared by the many, the people at
large, for to the Chautauqua are due
much of progress in educational methods
aHu eIliauU-I interest IL, eoicnoc ond art.
Many of the lecturers and other speakers
come "without money and without price !"
willing to add to the benefits of the Chau-
tauqua from philanthropic motives and for
the pleasure of visiting delightful resort
in doing so.
And incidental to the Chautauqua was
the growth of the charming town of De-
tunlak Springs, the central gem of the
several towns that are strung along the
line of the railroad that called them into
existence, and monument to the pro-
gressive ideas and liberality Of Colonel
w. d. Chipley and his associates in the
Chautauqua enterprise. Architecture raj
elegance distinguishes DeFuniak, and in
dicates it as the home of culture and re-
tinement, and the visitor to Florida who
fails to see it misses one Of the notable at
fractions of the State. The Chautauqua
exercises now in progress are highly en-
PERTAINING and instructive, and the town
affords constant festival scene of recrea-
ton and enjoyment for the thronging Wis
ltors, who are always surprised upon their
coming to find amid the forest a place 80

The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1887-03-17

The public sale of lots on Friday of last week,
by Mr.. George Fearn, attracted large crowd
and developed considerable interest in real estate
circles. There were fitty-two of these lots loca-
ted near the northern boundary of the city, and
containing from one-t third to three -fourths of An
acre each The whole number was sold, prices
ranging from $50 to $502 per lot While these
lots are desirable in point Of location, the prices
obtained, considering the large number, were
seemingly high, and attest most forcibly the
steady appreciation of real estate in Thomas
ville.-ThonaascilLc Times, March 10.
Property had value in Townsville be-
cause of railroad facilities, and is increas-
ing in value because of the promise of
increased railroad facilities. The railroad
northward is what built up Thomasville
and continued her prosperity, and this
will be sustained by the other roads pro-
jected. So road northward will appre-
ciate Tallahassee property, also, and the
roads from other directions which are
projected will sustain and enhance its
value. Like causes produce like effects,
and the prospect of an outlet north
ward being soon opened, already
makes property here desirable as being
not only safe investment, but as likely
to pay largely. The Villa Mitchell
property, near the southern boundary of
Tallahassee, which is to be sold on the
SOth Of this month, should command as
good prices as that near the northern
boundary of Thomasville This, not only
because of convenience of location,
which gives value to city property, but
because of the beauty of the situation and
the fertility Of the ground. We believe
that in the not distant future that eleva-
ted plateau will be covered with pleasant
homes, amid the fruits and flowers of our
genial cline and rich soil-for it is writ
ten in the book of destiny that Tallahas-
see is to spread far beyond her present
limits. About half-score railroads are
looking this way, and some are bound to
come, and this delightful country is sure
to become populous and prosperous. 1t
is quite impossible that it remain dull and
deserted on the margin of busy and
thickly peopled world, when rendered
accessible from that world.

The kBirminGh am and Florida Rail-
road.


The EsirminGham and Florida Rail.
road.
This grand proposed railroad from Brming
ham to the Gulf is pretty certain TO be built at
an early day. The route is from Birmingham TO
Talladega, Opelika, crossing the Chattahoochee
at Florence, thence to Cuthbert, Arlington, Col
quit, cambridge, Tallahassee and the Gulf of
Mexico. A glance at the line reveals the richest
country in the South-richest in minerals, agri-
cultural products timber and tropical fruits
There would not be twenty miles of the road
between Birmingham and its southern terminus
which would not receive profitable lOcal traffic.
1t rises, 80 to speak in the Magic City" of the
South, and runs over bed of minerals until it
reaches the fertile valley of the Chattahoochee,
which it follows to the Florida line, and then
passes over that beautiful Middle Florida cOun-
try which is the wonder of all who behold it.
Our opinion is that Columbus has missed her
usual high mark when she abandoned the great
ChattahOochee Valley by connecting her South
ern road at Albany. Columbus, however, like
some other cities, probably looking to i'm
mediate results. Nevertheless Columbus owes
her commercial prosperity more to the Clratta-
hoochee valley than to any other section. Biz
mngham will control it in the future.
A committee of gentlemen went over from
cambridge to Tallahassee last week in order to
feel the sentiment to the Birmingham road.
lney lOunu tue people tneIe UNANIMOUSLY In Ia
vor OF it. II is there preference above all other
lines, for the that it will benefit them
more. Furthermore they stand ready to con.
tribute largely toward the road. The road from
Tallahassee to cambridge runs through splen-
did agricultural country, which it would thor
oughly develope. Eight miles from Tallahassee
lies the beautiful Lake Jackson nestled between
lofty and picturesque hills. 1t is the loveliest
spot in all Florida, and this road will make it
the most famous winter resort in the State.
Will this road be built ? is the next question.
Our belief is that it will. This we can say
the prospects were never brighter for such a

1deas often take root in the popular
mind, and become general. only because
they are not analysed, whereas if they
were--if they we're examined into when
frat suggested. they would never be ac-
cepted. An idea of this sort seems to be
abroad now, and it is to the import that
q railroad will be Of very little value ex-
cept to those who may live in immediate
proximity to it-that property must be,
very near the line to be appreciated in
price. Of course the benefit is greater
near the line-but how near? At what
distance from the line does benefit cease !?
Is there q fixed distance at which ap pre-
citation value shall end-prosperity on
one side and poverty on the other? OF
course there is not, for values will be
graduated from the centre that created
them, and portion of country being
very prosperous other like country ada
cent to it but further from the road will
be proximately prosperous-the values
greater than if there was no railroad and
no portion of the country prosperous. A
railroad cannot run by every mans door
but what would be the condition of the
county with no rail communication
whatever What the condition Of the
State or any other State without rail-
roads? They could not be prosperous in
these days when rapid and easy inter
communication are esseuLIal uv".-
MERGE, agriculture, all the industries.
Railroads, then, add to..the general pros
perity of all parts Of the country, and so
does railroad to all parts Of county.
Suppose line of railroad be opened
through q county of which the lands
were then worth say five dollars an acre,
and the price of those within two miles
was raised thereby to twenty-five dollars,
or more, per acre, would the price of those
at three, four, FIVE miles or greater dis
lance, be likely to remain at five dollars
per acre? Would not they, too, be en-,
HANGED according to their location, and il
not becoming worth twenty-five dollars
certainly be worth much more than five
Of course they would.
But the increase of the value of prop,
erty because Of nearness to a railroad is
but one item of the causes of increas ed
values that it exerts The increase OF
population and Of business, of consumers
and dealers, near the line create a market
for products and consequent demand tor
land that produces, though at distance
In short the prosperous and progressive
condition of one portion of county must
necessarily benefit the whole to some ex.
tent. In the case Of Leon county, let its
merits be compared with those of Other
counties that have been rapidly settled
up because of railroads, and the result Of
opening a short route from the populous
States near us may be readily imagined
Doubtless many settlers would come, and
there would be demand for land
throughout the county-and no present
owner in any part Of it can afford to dc
without the railroad at the cost of sub
scrlbing a portion of his land.
